Workers Comp in Shalvey — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Aged-care staff working in people's homes are often the last to report an injury, and picking or forklift work carries the same risk of leaving it too long. In NSW the first step is medical, and the Certificate of Capacity that comes out of that appointment goes to your employer. Our doctors do that assessment for Shalvey workers on the logistics estates, supermarket floors and care rosters. Physiotherapy afterwards is covered by the insurer.

Workers Comp in Shalvey — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in ShalveyGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor issues this on the first visit. It’s the legal document that proves you have a work injury and tells the insurer how much you can work and what treatment you need. No paperwork on your end — the doctor handles it.
Notify your employer
You’re legally required to tell your employer about a work injury — a text or email is enough. Once they get your Certificate of Capacity, they pass it to their workers comp insurer. The claim opens, and wages and treatment get covered from that point.
Common workers comp claims in Shalvey
Workers comp claims in Shalvey most often come from the local construction and logistics workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Shalvey is a Mount Druitt-area suburb with a strong working-class trade demographic, drawing on the Western Sydney construction boom, the Erskine Park and Eastern Creek logistics estates and the retail and aged-care workforce along the M4 corridor. WorkCover claims here lean toward picker shoulder injuries, forklift tip-overs at Erskine Park, supermarket lifting strain, plus the manual-handling damage aged-care workers pick up across long in-home shifts.
